Internationally-acclaimed collaborative project Galantis, superstar DJ and producer David Guetta & GRAMMY-nominated songwriter, producer and recording artist MNEK unite for sensational new single ‘Damn (You’ve Got Me Saying).

Expressing feelings of regret and neglect, MNEK effortlessly glides over a pounding beat that fuses classic instrumentation with club-ready synths – mounting to a high-powered crescendo that is sure to ignite dance floors into 2023. The track marks the second collaboration between the dance music titans, following Galantis and Guetta’s 2021 global smash “Heartbreak Anthem” with Little Mix which was just certified Gold by the RIAA and has amassed over 526 million streams worldwide.

“After ‘Heartbreak Anthem,’ David Guetta and I wanted to team up again for something more house driven. ‘Damn (You’ve Got Me Saying)’ was the perfect storm, it gave us the opportunity to fuse that 2023 sound with early 2000s R&B. MNEK is one of my favorite artists and songwriters, and this record finally felt like the right opportunity to collaborate. His initial ideas for the song struck a chord for me instantly, I’m so excited for the world to hear this blend we’ve created.” – Christian Karlsson (Galantis).

The new single ‘Damn (You’ve Got Me Saying)’ is available now via Big Beat Records.

First acclaimed for his early work with influential French tastemakers Kitsuné, Belgian DJ/producer The Magician is one of dance music’s most intriguing characters.

Today he releases his first music of 2020; ‘The Renaissance’ EP– a record comprised of two new tracks written during isolation (lead single ‘You And Me’ and ‘Disco Romance’), as well as a special, Proto-Disco Club Mix of ‘You And Me’.

Retracing his early roots, the tracks are inspired by a heady mix of disco, funk, 80s/90s pop and contemporary electronics, with ‘You And Me’ – a lush, emphatic slice of feel-good dance-pop – nodding to The Magician’s knack for writing bold and infectious tracks with crossover hit potential.

Inspired by house and classic disco, The Magician’s breakthrough came in the form of a remix of Lykke Li’s ‘I Follow Rivers’ in 2011, which went on to amass over 300 million streams and top dance charts across Europe.

It bridged the gap between his funkier, more experimental output and the mainstream, laying the foundations for 2014’s hit record ‘Sunlight’ featuring Olly Alexander from Years & Years, a track that went onto secure Top 10 status in the UK, Europe, and Australia, as well as breaching the Billboard Top 100 in the US.

It’s only been six weeks since the world-renowned electronic music trio Cash Cash began tearing up the charts with their latest smash single “I Found You (with Andy Grammer),” which is already approaching 10 million spins, but today they’re unleashing an undeniable new single called “Gasoline” through Big Beat Records, featuring stunning vocals from the GRAMMY-nominated UK singer/songwriter Laura White.

The energetic song will get your attention from the first wobbly synth and sees Cash Cash veering into upbeat dance-pop territory, while maintaining their unparalleled signature production style that’s become synonymous with the acclaimed trio. Laura White’s fiery, impassioned vocals soar over the top, making this a must-spin for fans of either artist – just don’t light a match.

Cash Cash has been holed up in the studio, hard at work putting the finishing touches on their next studio album that’s due out in Fall 2020 through their longtime label home, Big Beat Records. Their other latest single “Mean It (feat. Wrabel)” just reached #1 at Dance Radio – proof that a combination of prolific work ethic and their uncanny ability to churn out banger after banger pays off.

Cash Cash consists of brothers Jean Paul Makhlouf and Alex Makhlouf, and life-long friend Samuel Frisch. Together, the three DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalists record, mix and master all their music themselves – a feat that few contemporary artists can tout. Over the past few years they have seen massive success with a slew of single releases. Their song  “Finest Hour” (feat. Abir) has been RIAA-certified Gold, and their 2019 collaboration with P!NK called “Can We Pretend” hit Top 10 at AC radio. Their single “Call You” (feat. Nasri of MAGIC!) hit #1 on US Dance Radio, and they were also featured on Billboard’s Dance 100 List for 2019. Their smash single “Take Me Home” (ft. Bebe Rexha) celebrated an RIAA platinum certification, and their song “All My Love” (ft. Conor Maynard) has amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify alone. “Matches” (feat. ROZES) also achieved #1 on Dance Radio, and one of their releases “Belong” was featured on Dashboard Confessional’s album “Crooked Shadows.” In addition, Cash Cash started 2020 off strong with their release of “Mean It” (feat. Wrabel), which premiered on PAPER magazine.

“My tastes and inspirations always evolve but in the past year I’ve really enjoyed writing more uptempo music, so I had the idea for this next EP to be all about club-paced music for the dancefloor. I pulled together a few ideas I’ve been working on and tested many of them out on my last tour, so it was incredible to watch live reactions to songs no one has heard before!” Matoma said about the project, “Above all my inspiration will always be incredible voices that can move you and fill you with different emotions. This EP allowed me to work with a really exciting and diverse range of vocalists and capture a different range of vibes.”

The prolific artist, producer and DJ, WHIPPED CREAM, has been on a tear since her very first release, steadily churning out hit after hit.

Today is no different, since fans of the fast-rising artist can stream her latest track called “DUMB S**T,” a hard-hitting, hip-hop influenced tune featuring another genre-defying artist, Jasiah, on vocals. “DUMB S**T” takes no prisoners from the very first beat, with WHIPPED CREAM’s penchant for dark, heavy bass music mixed with clanging trap-heavy percussion on full display. Combine that with Jasiah’s addictingly aggro, in-your-face delivery, and you have a true banger that doesn’t let up for a split second.

WHIPPED CREAM is the project of Caroline Cecil, a former competitive figure skater who trained for the Olympics, but after a debilitating accident on the ice and then a transformative experience at an Active Child show, she was led to channel her emotions through creating music… and the rest was history.

Not only did Cecil just sign a deal with Big Beat Records, announced that she’s on the bill for Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, and several other major 2020 festivals, but she was also nominated for two International Dance Music Awards. From being profiled in both Billboard and DJ Mag, chosen as one of Billboard Dance’s “Ones to Watch” and Mixmag’s “most exciting new names in bass music,” it’s clear that WHIPPED CREAM is making her mark on the music industry with no signs of slowing down.

Jasiah is known for his groundbreaking fusion of styles, combining melodic R&B and emo rap to aggro rock and even opera. Jasiah made a name for himself with a slew of self-produced tracks on SoundCloud before truly exploding onto the national consciousness with “Case 19 (Feat. 6Ix9ine),” which was released alongside a companion video for the single that proved an equivalent smash with total video views now approaching 10 million.

“Shenanigans (Feat. Yung Bans)“ followed shortly after, quickly rising to #1 on both SoundCloud’s “New & Hot” chart as well as the official TikTok chart, where it has become an undeniable viral favorite. As if all that weren’t enough, after the release of his latest single, “Heartbreak (Feat. Travis Barker),” Complex praised the song, highlighting “Jasiah and Barker’s high-performance energy, which oscillates between hushed and aggressive.”

With her stock steadily rising thanks to her unparalleled production and frenzied work ethic, WHIPPED CREAM is well on her way to becoming one of the most in-demand collaborators in electronic music and beyond.

Aside from high-profile festival slots this year, catch her at one of her headlining dates throughout North America starting March 7th, 2020.

Until then, check out “Dumb S**t”!

DJ / producer / songwriter Leon Lour is back with his first track since his ‘All Our Dreams’ EP last year, the attention-grabbing “Faster” starts off with a synthwave-leaning sound before Lour’s signature EDM / pop sound kicks in, making the song perfect for late-night club dance floors around the world.

On “Faster” Leon says, After almost a year since my last release (“All Our Dreams” EP) I’m so excited to finally release my next single “Faster”. The first type of electronic music I heard was Trance back on Dave Pearce’s Euphoria CDs from the early 00’s and I’ve loved it since. Incorporating Trance into my style is something I’ve always wanted to try. The soundscapes and energy have always been electric and I’m so happy with the result in this slower, more breaks, vibe. Loved making this track and hope people feel it too!

Leon Lour hails from London but also has roots in both Ibiza and Belgium, each of which are meccas of the dance music community in their own right. Known for his undeniable remixes and unparalleled production, Lour is a triple threat producer/DJ/songwriter who has already released music on respected dance labels including Spinnin’ Records, Armada, FFRR, and Pete Tong’s Deux Trois Records. He’s also loaned his in-demand remix skills to the likes of Martin Solveig, ZHU, Rudimental, Gryffin, The Knocks, and many others, while his latest remix of Ava Max’s hit single “Sweet But Psycho” has already garnered over 3M cumulative streams.

Initially gaining inspiration from the likes of contemporary producers and artists such as Avicii, Flume, Odesza and Swedish House Mafia, Leon Lour’s sound has evolved over the years, resulting in an eclectic blend of Electronic Dance Music sounds with pop and experimental elements in his compositions.

Faster is out today through Big Beat Records.

Standout Bristol-born house DJ / producer Eli Brown is on the path of global dancefloor domination and today he releases “BS48” on Big Beat Records. It’s the perfect aural representation of his unique and vibrant twist on classic house that he melds with elements of drum and bass, making for a sonic concoction that’ll soon be tearing up clubs around the world.

Having emerged from the shadows of Bristol’s fabled drum and bass scene, Eli Brown has rapidly established himself as an artist of real distinction in the house music world. His singularly sinister, twisted records have made an immediate impact, with Repopulate Mars, ViVA Music, Toolroom and more all recognizing his raw, sometimes caustic talent. His 2017 track “Sumatra” released on Toolroom in late 2017 was one of the biggest selling tracks of the year. Airplay of ‘Acid Test’ from BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Annie Mac and Monki, and A-list DJs Groove Armada, Leftwing & Kody and Solardo on Rinse FM have further enhanced the standing of Eli Brown and his music. The first few months of 2018 alone saw releases with Lee Foss’s Repopuate Mars, Green Velvet’s Relief, Solardo’s Sola and elrow: an impressive roll call by anyone’s standards.

2019 has proven to be his most prolific year yet, with Eli Brown releasing a flurry of singles and EPs alongside some of the most respected names in dance music, including the two-track “Our Love” EP with Will Clarke, “Always” EP released on Toolroom Records, “Hurt Me” with Sonny Fodera, and “Brazil”, a collaboration with Lee Foss and Anabel Englund, which went on to earn the title of BBC Radio 1 ‘Hottest track in the world’ by Danny Howard. Things have been similarly exciting on the live front, with Eli Brown making his Electric Daisy Carnival debut and playing no fewer than six sets across Miami Music Week.

Showing no signs of taking his foot off the gas, he recently collaborated with Manchester duo Solardo on ‘XTC’ which earned Eli Brown his second ‘Hottest Record In The World’ this year with Annie Mac, while also making Ibiza his summer base.  If you’re not already on Eli Brown’s runaway train, you’d better act quickly.
